Owner-operated fleet out of Marina Pez Vela run by Andy Couch and Connie Balusek since 2019. The company owns all vessels, including the 40-foot air-conditioned Blue Daze and the 32-foot Ocean Master Stress Reeliever. Captains Junior Smith, Mike Meza, Jessy Smith, and Kenny Alvarez cover offshore sailfish and inshore roosterfish charters.
We book this boat for our guests as part of the trip: the day, the pickup from the villa, and the fish going to a restaurant that night if you want it cooked. Prices, departure times, and what is included move with the season, so we confirm the current numbers with the captain before you commit.
